Interesting and valid issue! I assume it's crowdsourced data from a community and just isn't that popular where you are, but good points.

Yeah I can get that - pre-packaged cooked chicken is easier than roasted rotisserie chicken from the counter even if it's probably worse (loads of additives and flavourings)

If I take two protein shakes with double servings I am not halfway to my daily goal, but sure it helps! I tend to have protein powder and greek yogurt for breakfast (with peanut butter) and a double serving after the gym. That, with a protein dense lunch and dinner gets me to around 180g protein.

Yeah I am doing 1g per lb of lean body weight and let's just say I have been eating a disturbing amount of egg white (I'm a big guy!)

Getting protein in takes dedication & awareness

I try calorie count with My Fitness Pal and holy shit it’s a lot of effort. Eat out and you’re screwed (estimated at best). When you include sauces and oils etc it’s really hard to be accurate in the best of times, and it’s just a pain to keep on top of. Best option is to avoid any so you don’t have to count.

I imagine almost everyone will add bad data in a study at some point with the best of intentions.

Hard work, poor pay, known perverse incentives, and awareness of the probably replication crisis in your field == burnout and tears.

Half my friends are postdocs or associate professors (including my wife) at top universities and none of them are happy with how it’s going. Most apply for jobs every now and then to imagine escaping. And they’re the ones doing well in the system!

From the White House Press Secretary:

“It is a stunt, and we see no reason for TikTok or other companies to take actions in the next few days before the Trump Administration takes office on Monday. We have laid out our position clearly and straightforwardly: actions to implement this law will fall to the next administration. So TikTok and other companies should take up any concerns with them.”

Please do some research next time before accusing people of spreading lies.

There was no deadline, the app stores didn’t need to remove it.

The Biden administration said it would be left to the Trump administration to review, they had no reason to shut it down. It’s purely to force Trumps hand a bit.

Great content, excited to see the book grow :)

I don't mind enthusiasm, but it's the way it's written so condescendingly of other languages. And you know it's just thinly veiled marketing to sell something (either a course, their services, etc).

I worked on Cardano which is probably one of the larger Haskell projects (and Agda, which lets you write proofs and compile into Haskell!)

I wonder why? Post about Taiwan or 89 or Winnie the Pooh and find out :)

I went on LinkedIn this morning and I saw four posts from people talking about how good Rust was compared to other languages and then a bunch of comments from people with crab emojis in their names. Four. Its community is insanely cult like, I have never come across it before (maybe some Lisp-evangelicals, but they are individuals and not entire groups).

> First Shuttle orbited astronauts and successfully recovered all intended components.

There were 16 taxi and flight tests with Enterprise before the launch in 1981 (Approach and Landing Tests - Enterprise) where the first 8 were uncrewed. Just saying there were prior test flights using it.

There was something like 4 years of testing before the proper launch.

You test components in isolation, you test integration of components, you run simulations of the entire rocket, and finally you test the rocket launch.

You’ll catch issues along the way, but you can’t catch all of them before a full launch test. That’s why there are launch tests.

I’m using the term engineer and software professional here interchangeably - I don’t get your points anymore

I introduce professionals because I believe the real benefit will be speeding them up, not replacing them with laymen who suddenly have commoditised access to programming skills

I can see it for simple toys, I just can't see it for more complex projects. I have no idea how you could use natural language to describe some complex business rules, and once you start having to write in a more logical language it's verging on the precision of code. And to then be able to audit the system, make minor changes and regression test, etc...

I can see it speeding engineers up, I can't see the guy on the clapham omnibus building a complex line of business app (or an operating system, flight computer, financial engine, MRI sequencer, etc...). And once it can't be your average Joe and it's someone who requires training, suddenly we're back to it not being a commodity.

> But the customer can also type a prompt and get a complete app that meets their expectations even better than yours. Your generated app is worthless. Your entire company is just a middle man between the customer and ChatGPT, and the customer can write a prompt just as well as you.

What sort of apps do you work on where this is the case?

I just can’t fathom how a 10mloc financial engine that follows global regulations, has latency requirements, and tons of complex business logic that’s propriety, is going to be built via natural language.

Or how about flight computers for rockets?

Or sequences for MRI machines?

These might be obviously hard, but where’s the limit between viable and not viable?

But what does that really even mean. What does 'commoditization of coding' literally look like? If you can't do a full app, what can you do?

I’ll work in tech for as long as it’s fun.

But seriously, what’s a single good app out there that’s been written by AI with no developers involved? I don’t know of any. Not play apps, but real apps serving real users, with billing, subscriptions, some traffic, etc…

Anyone know of one?

If you gave me the chance to come up with 500 things related to simplex, herpes would not be there.

It's quite a crowded market, browser workflow automation. What are you guys trying to do differently? For me, as someone who does a bunch of browser automation tasks, the real issue is stability. So many tools fall over on non-trivial workflows like complex forms with tabs. Fix that and you may open up a large testing automation market.

This guy fucks

Why does it have to be 996 at TSMC in the US?

Part of Zucks plan to stop hiring mid-level engineers this year (as he said on JRE)?

I am very very skeptical of this idea - what do you all think?

Why shouldn't you use Python for larger projects, and why do so many startups succeed with large Python repos?

Cultural evolution in genetics is a current topic of research

Semigroup with an identity becomes a monoid right?

Anytime I see Monads or Monoids in the title I am obligated to share one of the greatest YouTube videos of all time :)
